2012-09-17staging: speakup_soft: Fix reading of init stringBen Hutchings
softsynth_read() reads a character at a time from the init string; when it finds the null terminator it sets the initialized flag but then repeats the last character. Additionally, if the read() buffer is not big enough for the init string, the next read() will start reading from the beginning again. So the caller may never progress to reading anything else. Replace the simple initialized flag with the current position in the init string, carried over between calls. Switch to reading real data once this reaches the null terminator. (This assumes that the length of the init string can't change, which seems to be the case. Really, the string and position belong together in a per-file private struct.)

2012-09-04speakup: lower default software speech rateSamuel Thibault
Speech synthesis beginners need a low speech rate, and trained people want a high speech rate. A medium speech rate is thus actually not a good default for neither. Since trained people will typically know how to change the rate, better default for a low speech rate, which beginners can grasp and learn how to increase it afterwards This was agreed with users on the speakup mailing list.

2011-06-28staging: speakup: Use kstrtoul_from_userPeter Huewe
This patch replaces the code for getting an unsigned long from a userspace buffer by a simple call to kstroul_from_user. This makes it easier to read and less error prone.
